Hastings Apartment | Upper Swanage - On the Beach.

2 Bedroom Apartment in Hastings

“Swanage upper is lovely, perfectly formed and beautifully positioned, shelter from the sun, catches the breeze, lovely veranda views and mesmerizing sound of the sea - it makes it difficult to go out sightseeing.”
Swanage is a beautifully restored traditional Barbadian Chattel house. It is an enchanting and tastefully decorated and furnished home - you can’t help but take back special memories from your stay!
The upper apartment is a two bedroom en-suite, with an open style living area complete with dining out onto the wonderful and picturesque verandah that overlooks the Caribbean ocean. The lower unit offers one huge bedroom en-suite, with open style living area and dining out to a verandah that is exactly 4 feet above the beach. The balconies from both the upper and lower apartments both overhang the beach itself! They can be rented separately or as a complete unit if you so desire.
It’s not possible to get any closer to gorgeous white sand beach or the ocean on the island. Relax on the patio, watch the spectacular sunsets, sip a drink and look down at the ocean literally at your feet.
There’s always the constant sound of the sea, an unforgettable view, and the gentle rustle of trade winds in the Coconut trees. You can sit on the long stretch of beach, swim and snorkel in the protected lagoon (perfect for kids) or the more adventurous can surf or snorkel the barrier reef just beyond.
Step out onto the beach. Turn left and you can walk on the boardwalk to the spectacular Rockley beach, aka Accra beach, with its famous ultra-fine white sand where locals and tourists mix. Turn right and stroll along the peaceful coast towards the famous Hilton beach. Back at Swanage, you will take with you a lasting memory of the sun sinking into the horizon, and as you sit cocktail in hand, you may even see the elusive green flash.
For foodies:
There are three great dining choices on the boardwalk, Blakey’s, Tapas, and Naru with a half dozen others within walking distance. Also be sure to catch the Saturday farmer’s market opposite Blakey’s from 9AM to 1PM for your typical local Barbadian produce and crafts.
For shoppers:
It’s a short walk to Lanterns mall, a great stop for groceries and general supplies, a pharmacy, health food store and tasty local and foreign food alternatives for those looking for a quick meal.
For duty free shoppers:
There are duty free shops in Worthing, five minutes by local bus or take a ten minute ride to Bridgetown. On Broad Street you will find fine jewelry shops, Cave Shepherd, a large department store, and other shops. For a great local shopping experience visit bustling Swan Street.
For history buffs:
There’s the Hastings Historic District and storied Garrison area of Barbados. It is the location of the Old Colonial Officers Quarters and Army Hospital. The Savannah comprises the main military guard buildings, with beautiful Victorian architecture complete with a large collection of old cannons, the Barbados Turf Club (Horse Racing), the historical museum, and a vast open sports area for rugby, soccer, cricket, all surrounded by walking and running tracks.
Shared economy & Room rate levies:
These levies were introduced by the Government of Barbados with effect from August 1st, 2018. They are 10% of the booking fee plus US$4.375 per night and is collected on arrival at the villa.
We appreciate your support at this time and look forward to seeing you in Barbados.

Summary: This is a little piece of heaven - you can live the dream here at Upper Swanage villa. The view & access to the sand cannot be compared to anywhere else. Colonial style , tastefully decorated . The veranda is the ‘come again ‘ aspect of the villa - out of this world. The only good thing about leaving here is that you are one day nearer coming back for your next stay here……. I’m feel truly blessed that I found Upper Swanage

Summary: We absolutely had the most amazing time staying here, the water is literally steps away and the beach is beautiful, the rocks are perfectly staged for the water to have a pool like area for easy swimming with out too many rocks/coral. The villa/small cottage is adorable, the vaulted ceilings makes it feel bigger & and decor is fun & relaxing! It was very clean and the hosts were wonderful and very quick to respond! I would highly recommend Upper Swanage! If we are back I will sure stay here again! 💗

Summary: We had an extended stay in Barbados and wanted to spend the last 9 days on the South coast as we hadn't stayed there before. The location was perfect and the apartment was really well equipped. All our meals were on the balcony looking over the sea and it was almost like having our own private beach and the sun loungers and beach umbrella provided were put to very good use. Close to places to eat and we had several take away meals from local restaurants that we ate on the balcony. Really relaxing end to our stay on the island and we will definitely be back to the apartment soon.

Summary: Upper Swanage is a gem! As soon as you enter you feel like you are in a home away from home. It is cosy and well maintained with the best views of the South Coast. We stayed here with our teenagers for our 20th Anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was close to everything. We walked along the Boardwalk and really felt well taken care of by Tina and Philip. We would definitely recommend Swanage to anyone who wants to have a non hotel experience where they feel like they are in a central location and close to everything.

Summary: We stayed in Upper Swanage which was wonderful. We were so happy with our choice to stay here and felt it really was one of the highlights of the trip. Sitting on the porch overlooking the water and having the beach at your doorstep were fantastic. You can snorkel and watch turtles in the water directly in front of the villa. There are good restaurants within walking distance, lots to do. Felt very safe here. The apartment was very clean and homey. Tina and Philip were very nice and helpful. They arranged transportation to and from the airport for us, met us upon our arrival even though it was very late when we got in. They were always available if needed. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great experience.

Summary: We stayed at Upper Swanage for our honeymoon and loved it! When we first arrived, Philip and Tina met us with keys and tons of tips about the island and local area. They were extremely friendly and helpful. The place was even more pretty than in the pictures. We love to cook so we bought fresh fish and ate most of our meals on the back balcony. It has an unreal view of gorgeous water and the beach. It was turtle nesting season and we saw three swim up to shore from our balcony. One laid eggs and we got to watch they whole thing up close. The house is in a great location on the island. Easy access to any place on the island. A maid came twice while we were there and the house is fully equipped with a great kitchen and ipod docking station. Would be awesome for families because of the shallow blocked off beach area. We felt like our spot on the surrounding beach was better than the other surrounding rentals. There are cheap buses that stop right out front and take you anywhere. We rented a motorbike and the roads were very easy to navigate. Everything about Swanage was incredible. Before we got there, we started to question whether we should have done an all-inclusive resort for our honeymoon but we are SO grateful that we picked Swanage. It was so laid back and perfect for our style. It could not have been better. Thanks Philip & Tina!
